Angus, Blue YD 2012 -2017

[Millan]

Täällä ollaan jo Senegalissa, hyvä Blue YD, ihailuni!! : Blue YD is now in Senegal, after his circular loop around the border region with Mauritania. He is now fishing on one of the Senegal rivers huge tributaries, and we hope he is finding plenty to eat after his mammoth Sahara crossing. Whether he stays here or heads to the coast after a good rest, remains to be seen.

Tämän päivän blogissa kerrotaan:
Blue 44, has not moved from Etang Blanc. Blue YD, our chick from Forfar-area, is edging westward along the Senegal river. Currently he is close to the small, rural settlement of Ouande (or Wandé).Photos of the area suggest this is a good fishing spot for humans too!

Länteen on menossa hiljaa, keltainen ohuempi viivoitus on Ceulanin. Onkohan siellä tapaaminen tulevina päivinä.

Päivityksestä kuvineen eiliseltä molemmista "sinisistä": Both our Osprey chicks have settled down to a regular pattern of favourite perches and spending much of their time roosting just in very different places! Blue 44 has visited the other side of Étang Blanc for a wee change while Blue YD seems content dotting from side to side of the Senegal River.



Hyvää talvehtimisaikaa Blue YD:lle, rohkelikolle!

Mitkähän kalat ovat Blue YD:n lempikaloja? Ote eilisestä skottipoikien blogista: "Both appear to have settled into a daily routine of exploring their local area by day, presumably catching the odd fish along the way, and then roosting up by early evening at one of their favoured roost sites."

[Millan]

Ihanaa, Blue YD voi hyvin ja elelee Senegalissa, josta on mienkiiintoista luettavaa ja katsottavaa blogissa 22.11.

Uusi päivytys on täälläkin. Blue YD on asettunut päivärutiineihinsa ja voi hyvin

[Millan]

Meillä lumentulon jatkuessa :winter2: Blue YD on liikehdillyt, lennellyt enemmän ja korkeammallakin, ehkä jo enteellisesti ensi kuussa tapahtuvan muuton vuoksiko, pohtivat blogissa

[Millan]

Senegalissa yhä

[Millan]

Edelleen Senegalissa.

[Saru]

Blogipäivityksessä kerrotaan Blue YD:n olevan samoilla alueilla Senegal joilla, joilla on viihtynyt jo pidempään.

And what of our other satellite tracked bird, last years chick from Angus Blue YD? He’s still living on ‘his’ bend of the River Senegal tootling around between favourite roosting spots.

Blue YD on siirtynyt samalle alueelle päin, jossa vietti viime talven.

Niimpä niin, huonot uutiset jatkuu. Voi näitä nuorikoiden oppirahoja, kohtuutonta

[Saru]

Surullisisa nuo edelliset uutiset Margen poikasesta YZ:tä

Blue YD on toisen pesän poikanen, kaksivuotias tänä vuonna ja on blogin mukaan aloittanyt ensimmäisen muuttomatkansa pohjoiseen. Toivotaan onnea nuorelle sääkselle välttää kaikki vaarat matkalla. Sateliittimen kerrotaan alkavan päivittymään kahden päivän välein.

Our young osprey Blue YD , who was hatched in Angus in 2012 and is being Satellite tracked, has begun his first ever northwards journey. At the ripe old age of two years he has begun what seems to be his first ever spring migration, leaving the area in Senegal where he has spent the last 18 months. He began to move northwards at 10 am on the 24th April, and had crossed into Mauritania between 2 and 6 pm . On the 25th and 26th he continued up the coast, and on the 27th he spent the night near the border of Mauritania and Western Sahara .

On Monday he took a turn to the right and headed inland , presumably a short cut across desert territory on the way north. As of 10pm last night he was in Western Sahara and he has the desert and the dangerous crossing of the Moroccan Atlas mountains ahead.

We can only wish him well and keep all our fingers crossed that he successfully avoids the many dangers ahead. Which route will he take? Will he stop over on route and if so where? Will he return the Scotland? Will he be seen back in Angus where he was born this summer ?

The satellite tracker is pre- programmed to send information to the us every 2 days at the moment so we should have new data on Thursday and will bring you the latest news as soon as we can.
